In the aftermath of lay offs at Sony subsidiary Bungie, one team that was previously being incubated by the Destiny developer is in the process of being spun off as a brand-new PS Studio. It’s making a game that is said to be a sci-fi action experience, and around 40 ex-Bungie staffers are being moved across to help establish the new team.

This may be your first look at the game:

A recruitment drive from Bungie last year mentioned its various in-development incubation projects, and referenced “a team-based action game inspired by several genres in a brand-new, science-fantasy universe”. It added: “It draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games, wrapped up in a light-hearted, comedic world.”

Fans noticed the above artwork on the incubation page of Bungie’s website, which appears to be connected to the project described above. We’re obviously joining a lot of dots here, but this does appear to be the project Sony is interested in. Its development will now be completed under the PS Studios umbrella, separate from Bungie.

Obviously there’s not much to go on from the artwork or description, and realistically the project could change a lot before release, but are you interested in this concept at all? Try to imagine exactly what’s being described in the comments section below.
